Ebiquity - Expanding offering in wider geographies
Ebiquity reported strong FY22 results, with revenue and operating profits increasing in line with expectations. The complexity of the media market provides a supportive backdrop to its offering, designed to help brand owners optimise the efficiency of their marketing spend. The acquisitions of US-based MMi and Swedish-based Media Path in FY22 significantly scale Ebiquity’s potential revenue base, while productisation, efficiency gains, and the transition to a common technology platform give a cl...

Ebiquity - Strong revenue growth and improving margin
Ebiquity’s year-end trading update confirms that revenue continued to grow strongly in H222, delivering a 20% improvement for the full year, with underlying organic growth of 9%. Management is guiding to an underlying operating margin of 12%, implying that FY22 operating profit will be just ahead of our £8.9m forecast, notwithstanding the slight undershoot on revenue. This improvement in margin reflects the two transformative acquisitions made in the year, adding operational capability and effic...

Ebiquity - Strong uplift in operating margin
Ebiquity has delivered strong first half results, with 7% organic revenue growth boosted to a 16% gain including acquisitions. An increasing proportion of revenues from the higher-margin digital media solutions and rigorous control of costs in the existing business drove a substantial uplift in underlying operating margins from 7.1% in H121 to 13.3% in H122. Full year results are expected to be in line with market expectations and we have reinstated FY22 and FY23 forecasts including the H122 acq...

Ebiquity - FY21 results, acquisitions and placing
Ebiquity’s FY21 results showed good growth in revenue, up 13%, and a strong recovery in operating margin to 7.5% (operating loss in FY20). The figures were accompanied by two acquisitions, Media Management (MMi) in the US and MediaPath, a Sweden-based global media consultancy. Ebiquity is paying initial consideration of £6.1m for MMi and £15.5m for MediaPath, funded from cash and proceeds of an intended £15.0m placing at 53p. Management anticipates the acquisitions will be earnings enhancing in ...

Ebiquity - Margin boost from digital media solutions
Ebiquity’s trading update shows revenues are in line with our forecasts, but with a much better operating profit performance at £4.7m versus £4.1m. This reflects strong progress made in its newer (higher margin) digital media solutions and prudent cost management, accelerating the timing of modelled margin recovery. It has also translated into faster improvement in the balance sheet, with year-end net debt of £4.8m, against our forecast £8.7m. The group has made a small acquisition in Canada, ex...

Ebiquity - Progress in delivery of strategy
Ebiquity has had a good first half, with a 20% uplift in revenues and a return to operating profit, with an underlying operating margin of 7%. Our expectations for the full year and for FY22e are edged up, although there remain notes of caution around prospects in some sectors in H2. Ebiquity is making good progress with its digital activities and product solutions, which we expect to support the medium-term growth. The share price performance year-to-date has been strong (up 194%), but the valu...

Ebiquity - Building on recovery
Ebiquity’s period-end trading update indicates a good first half performance, with revenues of £32m, up 19% on the prior period. The group has also posted an operating profit – undisclosed but ahead of the £1.0m delivered in H220. The progress is a result of a mix of factors, including new business wins (notably in digital), with some benefit from work deferred from FY20. We leave our forecasts unchanged for now, noting that any revisions at the interims in September are more likely to be on the...

Ebiquity - Positioned for recovery
As indicated at the pre-close update, trading conditions eased for Ebiquity in H220 as advertisers ventured back into the market after a COVID-19 affected first half. The group also gained new business, some following the withdrawal of Accenture from the media assurance market, with momentum continuing into Q121. Demand for Ebiquity’s services should be amplified by the complexity of the market and advertisers’ need to optimise the return on their spend. We expect the increased emphasis on digit...

Ebiquity - Activity levels recovering
Ebiquity’s pre-close trading update indicates recovery as expected in H220, from both a pick-up in demand from existing clients and a good performance in winning new business. The group therefore returned to profit in the second half, leaving it with a small adjusted operating loss for the full year, slightly below our earlier estimate of a small profit. The performance on net debt was better than our modelling, with the group ending the year with net debt of £7.7m (Edison estimate £8.8m). Ebiqu...

Ebiquity - Adapting to circumstance and opportunity
Ebiquity is set for a stronger H220, after a difficult H1 (£26.8m revenue; down 24% y-o-y) when some clients paused or cancelled their marketing activity due to COVID-19. Most of the H120 £1.4m operating loss should be recouped by the year-end. FY21 prospects are further lifted by new client wins, partly from Accenture’s withdrawal from media audit. Newly installed CEO Nick Waters (ex Dentsu) is developing his vision for Ebiquity as a data-driven media solutions provider, augmented with consulta...

Ebiquity - Advising brands through COVID-19 uncertainty
Ebiquity’s FY19 results (delayed by the COVID-19 lockdown) were in line with expectations. The impact of the pandemic on the advertising sector is harsh, but is far from uniform, with some verticals notably more resilient than others. Ebiquity’s leading market position equips it with the data to benchmark and advise. Careful cost management should mitigate some of the COVID-19 related trading difficulties, as reflected in our tentative FY20 forecast, with the balance sheet remaining sound. M...

Ebiquity - New CEO announced
Ebiquity’s new CEO is to be Nick Waters, joining from Dentsu Aegis on 1 July. His experience both at Dentsu, and previously at Mindshare, should be a good fit, bringing experience of media agencies and working with advertisers. The group is set to issue its formal FY19 results in early May. The COVID-19 update adds further detail to that published last month, with cost saving measures in place. The group had net debt of £6m at end March and has £5m of further headroom in its borrowing facili...

Ebiquity - COVID-19 update; results postponed
Ebiquity has postponed publication of its final results, in line with the FCA guidance. The trading update indicates the figures are as outlined in February’s period-end update, with year-end net debt at £5.8m. Committed facilities of £24m are in place, of which £14m was drawn down at the year-end. Guidance for FY20 has been withdrawn in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The group’s clients, both locally and globally, are certain to be reining in their marketing spend, but are going to be k...
